Short-cut heads

The Short-cut heads are very short heads that are designed to fish the challenging conditions you meet when fishing a narrow to medium river, places where you want your fly to come down fast and to also swing fast.

The Short-cut heads have proven to be a convincing asset when it comes to catching salmon and sea trout. It is a line that is extremely easy to handle for anyone, no matter their experience level, and they are a blessing, especially when using shorter double hand rods, switch rods and single hand rods.

The idea behind Short-cut heads was inspired from fishing at rivers where there was limited room for casting, or where it was crucial to get the fly down fast. In other words, places where big fish like to hang out. One of the greater benefits of the shorter heads is also that we can “fish” the fly more effectively in general, as we can retrieve more line before the line is picked up for a new cast.

Triple density lines like ours, let alone for this purpose, have never existed before we first introduced them in 2008. Building on the experience gained since then and leveraging current know-how, we have decided to refine our Short-cut series to feature one and dual densities in the future. This change makes a lot of sense for us, as it results in better “casting” lines and, more importantly, significantly improved “fishing” lines.

The density, length and weight are imprinted on the color code or at the back-end loop, of all salmologic heads – so you’ll always know what you’ve got on your reel.
